Mandala designs from nature

Looking at nature you will discover many repeating patterns, for example: the skin of a snake, a spiders web, the wings of a butterfly and the structure of a snail.

All these things have the characteristics of a mandala. In spite of my inexplicable fear of spiders, I do have a hugh admiration for the ingenious way they build their webs. In particular in fall, as the morning sun breaks gently through the foggy clouds. And the world turns slowly into a kaleidoscope of sparkling colours, so typical for this season.

When this happens the forest looks like a creation made for a fairy tale. And the cobweb appears as a magic spiral, full of shiny diamants. At these moments, when you're surrounded by the beauty of Gods nature, you can feel the divine spark. And you are happy to be in this world.
